The crypto world is full of legends. Some go all in and end up with nothing, while others steadily build and tenfold their gains.
Today, let's talk about a proven "slow in, quick out" rolling position strategy. Basically, the core principle is two words: survive.
**Level One: Choose the Right Coins**
It's either a rise or an opportunity—you need to learn how to pick them—
Breakouts + volume increase are the real signals. When ARB hits $1.2, with trading volume surging 60% compared to the previous day, that’s a valid sign. Looking only at daily limits isn't enough.
Focus on the leaders, don’t be greedy. For Layer2, stick with ARB and OP; during the MEME season, watch DOGE and PEPE. Don't get dragged down by irrelevant altcoins.
Market cap should be between $300 million and $8 billion. Too small can be easily manipulated; too large is hard to move.
I personally never hold more than two coins at once. Concentrated efforts lead to better decisions.
**Level Two: Rolling Position Rhythm**
Using 200,000 USDT as an example:
Make the first move with only 60,000 USDT to test the waters. Wait until a key breakout with high volume before acting. Like PYTH when it stabilized at $0.8, set an 8% stop-loss and go in—don’t get entangled.
Take 40% profit and add 80,000 USDT. Once the trend is confirmed, increase your firepower to maximize profits.
After doubling? Invest the remaining 60,000 USDT entirely. Remember: never add to a losing position; only go all-in when you're winning big.
**Level Three: Risk Control Is the Key**
Never allocate more than 30% of your total portfolio to a single coin. After doubling, immediately take some profits and switch to USDC to lock in gains.
Set stop-losses no more than 6% of the total portfolio each time. Don’t listen to those saying "wait for a rebound."
Last year, I doubled my holdings and immediately withdrew 100,000 USDT. The remaining profits kept rolling.
**Real Case**
A friend who communicated with me started with 8,000 USDT, strictly following the rule: "Cut when down 5%, take half when up 20%." In less than half a year, he grew it to 150,000 USDT.
In the end, making money isn’t about secrets but about execution. Stay calm during crazy markets, and keep planning during panic.
The biggest test in crypto isn’t catching opportunities but resisting temptation. Pay less attention to K-line charts, do more research. Slow is fast.

Exactly right, but when it comes to execution, most people fail because of greed.

That's right, execution is indeed the dividing line. Most people fail here.

Honestly, execution is really the bottleneck; most people get stuck here due to temptation.

From 8,000U to 150,000U? That discipline is indeed absolute, but how many actually stick with it?
---
Stop-loss is easy to talk about; not many cut at a 5% drop, most want to wait a bit longer.
---
I agree with the logic of focusing on two coins; miscellaneous coins are indeed a waste of time and easy to get trapped in.
---
Doubling the principal when it doubles—this is something I need to remember; greed can easily eat away at profits.
---
Slow entry and quick exit sounds simple, but only those who truly survive are the winners.

Not wrong at all, discipline is the moat, many people die because of greed.
---
Not many can stick to "sell when it drops 5%", most are gambling mentality.
---
Setting stop-loss at 8% is a bit wide, I usually exit at 6%.
---
The logic of choosing coins is reliable, a volume breakout is indeed much better than just watching for a limit-up.
---
I agree that doubling your gains should immediately increase the principal, too many people take profits and then give them back.
---
The rolling position strategy sounds good, but execution is the hardest part; knowing what to do is easy, doing it is hard.
---
I think the restriction on two coins is still a bit conservative, but it definitely reduces decision-making costs.

The phrase "lock in gains" hits the point; it's the same for all investments, not just crypto.
